This song does not contain explicit lyrics
But the thought is erotic
Aw, baby!
Access to her code, love-struck Dove is Dove's mode
Took a look, Drop my books, Jenifa, oh Jenny
Breakfast was our Greetings, Yogurts and bird seeds what I fed
Slipped a note, rocked my yacht, Jenifa, oh Jenny
Jenny, only thought about Jimmy but didn't think about Derwin
The Jimmy who's only a virgin, steady we go, Jenifa led
Pluggin' her tune was freedom well said
So what's the fix, oh Jenifa, can a brother of the soul get swingin'?
The downstairs, where we met, I brought records, she cassettes
Lost the break, found her shake Jenifa, oh Jenny
Transcripts showed more than flirt, I love daisies' read her shirt
Grabbed my jeans, Jimmy screamed, "Jenifa, oh Jenny!"
Morals shaped like a vase, no one can live their life for Pos
Found her house, aroused my joust, Jenifa, oh Jenny
Her clothes, I did shuck just like Dan I strictly stuck
To the punt, she cried, 'Kick it!' Posdnuos was in
Jenny, only thought about Jimmy, but asked was I a virgin
Like some kid named Derwin?
She said, "Let's try it in the bathroom"
But 'Dnuos is way above sinks, so to the kitchen she did Dan
And came back wrapped in Saran
Positions, Muscle Flex, Dove was lost in Aghonal-hex
Passed her test, felt her Teddy, Jenifa, oh Jenny
Notions soothed the mood, Dove was lost in De La heaven
Screwed Plug Two, did the do, Jenifa, oh Jenny
Jenny, teased my homeboy Granny
In fact she teased so many
She was known as a garden tool
Did her thing while I plugged once
Hope she don't fall fat nine months from now
I'll tell you what, Trugoy ain't ready
Worned out was my cater, mind you this was three days later
The door tune blew, you guess who? Jenifa, oh Jenny
Advance to the radio, Teddy persuaded us to turn off the light
Wanted me to rhyme while she wrapped me up in a ball of twine
No more, I dispatched was it Jimmy had met his match
Or could it be the realization? All girls owned a Jenny
For normal health I had fought, a valuable lesson she had taught
Don't flaunt that the candy is good, unless you can give plenty
